WE'LL LEAVE A LIGHT ON FOR YA!


Hebrews 13: 1 – 6
Hospitality is defined as; The friendly treatment and reception of guests or strangers. The Bible tells us that we are to have hospitality for others.
2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
In 2004, a nonprofit service was founded that helps travelers find a “friendlier alternative” to unfriendly hotels. They find homeowners who are willing to offer their spare beds and couches to others.
The group boasts almost a quarter of a million friendships that have been formed from their service. “The more we network, the better chance we have of this world being a better place.'”
Blessing others with what we have been blessed with, reaps even greater blessings.
This is going to be a short teaching, I feel that the verses are so self explanatory that there is no need for embellishment. As God’s people, we are called to be hospitable to others as part of our gratitude for the salvation we have received from God.

Lord, grant me a loving heart,
A will to give and share,
A whispered prayer upon my lips
To show I really care. —Brandt

People with a heart for God have a heart for people.
